Canadian Classics 2025

[Hugh Januss]

Alaphilippe is not a serious bike rider anymore. Just retire already. Probably thinks he can race Pogi 1 on 1 later in the race.

This aged very well!

Alaphilippe now favourite for the WCRR.

If he wins on Sunday then you may have some point (about him being among top favourites). Pogacar remains the favourite for WC and Evenepoel is surely a bigger contender as well.

He's my favourite rider in the current peloton.

He's still right. He hasn't competed 1 on 1 against him .

Looks like Alaphillipe did indeed climb the final hill faster than Pogacar.

Are the "Canadian Classics" more prestigious than the Vuelta?

No.

No.

Canadian Classics- Molson, Maple syrup and Wayne Gretsky.

 

[Netserk]

Jayco stuffed up the final 40kms of the break. They should have Schmid into the late break, who would have competitive in the final, instead of him waiting for Bling who could rely on the peleton to bring it back for a sprint. A big fail.

They should have worked more and sooner in the peloton. A controlled race with a bunchsprint in the end was their best scenario.

Nah. There best scenario was to use Schmid as a second option, instead of him, wasting his time in the last 10kms trying to pull back the peleton. This is yet another example of Jayco's lack of tactical awareness in one day races.

Alaphilippe now favourite for the WCRR.

Doubt he finishes top 10 tbh

This year's Vuelta, without a doubt

Pogacar climbed the last hill without competing for anything.

Can Pogi keep up with mighty Ala on Vole Camillon-Houde? We will see tomorrow...

 

[Hugh Januss]

Pogacar climbed the last hill without competing for anything.

It's rare to see Pogacar back off and save it for the next days.

It's rare to see Pogacar back off and save it for the next days.

It should be noted that this year he is competing in the WC time trial, whereas last year he didn't.

Moose Head....a true classic

You missed the joke.

The greatest Canadian Classic, however, is Blacque Jacque Shellac...

Blacque Jacque Shellacque

Blacque Jacque Shellacque is a Looney Tunes character. He was created by Robert McKimson and first appeared in the 1959 short "Bonanza Bunny". While similar in many ways to Yosemite Sam, both are short in stature and temper, Blacque Jacque possesses his own unique characteristics, not the least...
